Moment EightWritten by: Nicole Smith Usually when we think of God’s provision, money or food comes to mind. Recently God has shown me that He can provide in ways we don’t even know are possible. About 2 months ago my mom went to the gym on a Friday morning when her heart rate went too high, it stopped and she collapsed. You’d probably think this is a tragedy. I did too, at first. But now, I see it as a testimony of God’s provision. Here’s why. My mom is a teacher. She was supposed to go to school that morning but the school closed that specific day because of...

Moment SixWritten by: Elijah Blake God has provided in unexplainable ways for me this year. Providing a means for me to go on this one-year journey is one of them, so I figured God had already done enough for me by allowing me to do this journey at all, but I realised my view of God’s provision was very limited at the time. God could provide for me much more than just “an experience”, but also through a reviving of my soul. Eternally more important than a year of traveling, God provided a way to show me his love in a way I had never experienced before through the many countries and...

Israel

God’s word seems to take on a new shape, and we have a renewed perspective of the history of our faith. This is what made Israel special. Upon arriving in Israel...

Moment FourWritten by: Pasha Background:On the 19th of February, our team crossed the border of Lesotho. All of us went through except for me and Germine because we didn’t have visas.

I was so frustrated because I already spent a month in Moscow not being able to join the team in January and now, I will be separated from them again for almost two weeks.Germine and I had to come back to Ficksburg, the town bordering Lesotho.Elzke was the only one who had a connection to the border and she asked her mother...

Jordan

Jordan was completely out of our comfort zone, and different in the best way. Since it was our first country in the Middle East, we were expecting a drastic cultural change compared to South America and East Africa – that is exactly what we experienced! The culture in Jordan proved to be more conservative than anything we had experienced before, especially considering it is a country based on Islamic beliefs…needless to say we had a lot to learn about how to best reach the people we were going to be encountering during our 3 weeks of ministry. We were blessed with briefing and...
